Resilience and Risk Services

Protect continuity by managing external risks and resolving internal disputes. We run risk audits, create mitigation plans and facilitate mediation first—then review regularly so you stay ahead of change.

Governance & Decision Making

We facilitate the creation and enhancement of governance structures, board protocols, and decision-making frameworks that ensure organisational transparency and effective oversight. Our guidance is designed to empower leadership with clarity and confidence in every decision.

Strong governance is the foundation of a resilient business, providing clear roles, responsibilities, and lines of accountability. We help businesses implement tailored structures that streamline decision-making, reduce ambiguity, and support long-term stability. By embedding these frameworks, we aim to reduce personal stress for leaders and foster a culture where informed, timely decisions drive sustainable growth.

How it works

Establish or refine board structures. segregation of duties, conflict-of-interest registers, compliance calendar.
Charter, agenda, and minutes for board or partner meetings.
Transparent KPI tracking and reporting. Board/BoA cadence → charters & authorities → decision logs → KPI dashboards.
Integration of governance into succession and strategic planning.

Client stories

Succession Planning

We create tailored succession plans that safeguard your business’s value, maintain leadership stability, and address the interests of both family and shareholders. Our approach goes beyond simple timing considerations, integrating legal, financial, and emotional aspects to ensure a smooth transition. By focusing on your goals and the unique dynamics of your family or ownership structure, our succession frameworks provide clarity and continuity for the future.

Client stories

Second-generation farming family

A Riverina-based agribusiness faced tension between siblings after the founder stepped back. One wanted to modernise operations, the other wanted to stay traditional. We developed a governance framework, set up a family council, and clarified roles and ownership shares. Within 18 months, harmony was restored and the business had its most profitable harvest season in five years.

Engineering firm succession

A Melbourne-based engineering consultancy wanted to sell to long-standing employees rather than an external buyer. We modelled buy-in options, structured staged ownership transfers, and introduced accountability KPIs for the new directors. This gave the founders a clear exit path while ensuring the next generation of leaders retained staff loyalty and client trust.
